The other really big use case - actually the majority for me! - is telling Alexa to add things to shopping lists. I have one list I always check when I'm at a physical store or preparing for curbside shopping.

That sounds handy, how do you get the list back out?

You check the app on your phone. I use Alexa to add things to the list and the app to cross them off.

What works for a person works of course, but pulling out my phone and just holding down a button and saying "add onions to shopping list" is very helpful halfway through cooking some stuff in a kitchen.
Of course I could put that on my fridge and have a marker. But it's "I need my list right now and have almost no free hands to do this" in other parts of the house too (toilet paper etc). Meanwhile my phone is always in my pocket.
Maybe time to just keep a pocket pad + pencil in my pocket though...
